Meghívó a svédországi Folkeboot Gold Cup-ra.

Here is an update for the Gold Cup event
in Sandhamn this summer. The prepara-
tions are coming along fine and we are
looking forward to welcome you all in
July.

Racing area

Because we want to offer sailing as close
to Sandhamn as possible, KSSS has been
given the right to shorten the legs in
certain wind directions. There is also an
ongoing discussion to have three laps
instead of two, to compensate for the
shorter legs.

Mooring

All Folkboats are welcome to moor to-
gether at Lökholmen, KSSS Club Island
next to Sandhamn. We have decided to
move the Gold Cup center to Lökholmen
because it gives us much better possibili-
ties for the mooring and for social activi-
ties. In both cases the sailing people can
have their accommodation at the main
island or at Lökholmen.

At Lökholmen you will stay together in
one separate lagoon, Trollsundet. Close
by there are showers and toilets and
most of all – it’s close to Trollgården,
where the social events will take place.
At Lökholmen there is also a sauna for
your disposal.

The mooring is free of charge from
25 July to 29 July. If you bring a tender
boat, please contact the harbor master

in Sandhamn/Lökholmen, sandhamn@
ksss.se. Tender boats get a 50 % discount
on the mooring fee during the regatta.

Ferry Sandhamn – Lökholmen

To get between Sandhamn and Lökhol-
men there is a shuttle every half hour
(once an hour while you are out sailing).
This is free of charge and takes approxi-
mately 5 minutes. A small boat with
chauffeur will also be available for quick
transports between the islands.

Accommodation

Due to the high season in Sandhamn
you need to be out well in time for book-
ing of hotels or renting of houses, this
time of the year, some of the accommo-
dation in Sandhamn might already be
fully booked.

KSSS can offer an alternative accommo-
dation at Lökholmen Junior Camp. This
facility offers cottages with rooms for
eight people and has a simple standard.

Breakfast and packed lunch is served in
the Junior Camp every day. Accommo-
dation including breakfast and packed
lunch cost sek 320 per person per night.
Make your reservations by e-mailing
regatta@ksss.se. There is also a possibil-
ity to camp in tents at Lökholmen.

For all accommodation there are more
contact information on the website,
www.ksss.se/goldcup.

Social activities

Now for the other fun part of the event!
Everything starts with the opening cere-
mony that will take place on Wednesday

men. The racing starts on Thursday and
